The move is part of an expanded partnership with ABB, the global technology leader in electrification and automation. The inclusion of ABB-free@home® marks a significant step forward in Amber’s offering to the residential and light commercial installation market. Tailored for intuitive and scalable control, ABB-free@home® enables seamless management of key home systems — including lighting, blinds, heating, air conditioning, and door communication — through switches, laptops, or mobile devices.

Nathan Brady, General Manager of Integrated Solutions at Amber Technology, told StereoNET  the addition was a natural evolution in meeting the increasing demand for future-ready smart home systems: 

Our residential installation team is thrilled to introduce the ABB-free@home® range to our customers. As demand for smart home and small business solutions continues to grow, we see ABB-free@home® as an intuitive platform that simplifies automation without compromising functionality.



While designed with homes in mind, ABB-free@home® is equally suited to light commercial projects — including multi-dwelling units, aged care residences, small NDIS facilities, and boutique hotels — offering versatility across various environments.

Remote access via the ABB-free@home® Next app and ABB’s myBuildings platform ensures that users and installers can manage and support systems from anywhere, improving convenience and ongoing support capabilities.

Christian Schiemann, ABB’s Business Manager for Building Automation and Home Solutions, said the extended partnership with Amber Technology positions ABB-free@home® to reach new heights in the Australian market: 

Amber’s expertise and market reach will play a key role in expanding the installer network, making ABB-free@home® the smart home solution of choice. We’re excited to build on our successful collaboration with Amber through the ABB i-bus® KNX platform and now ABB-free@home®.

With this strategic expansion, Amber Technology continues to reinforce its commitment to delivering integrated, intelligent solutions for modern living and working spaces.
